I know we are all at that nervous beginning stage of pregnancy where we want to see our babies and have to wait weeks until our appointment or we’re scared of losing our baby, so I thought maybe we could have a lighter thread to take or minds off of the negatives.

Seasoned mamas: what are your go to baby items? I figure this would be a nice, light topic and be helpful to the new mommies in the group.

This is my third baby. My first two are 5 & 1/2 years apart so it was like starting all over. My youngest & the new baby will be 3 years apart so I won’t be as rusty at this!

For all 3 pregnancies a swing was a must have.

With my 2 year old baby Bjorne, a tub with a thermometer, & a mamaroo saved my life.

this is number three for me and we LOVE the dock a tot. The arms reach Co sleeper also saves us sooo much. A baby monitor, a carrier, and a rock n play are also wonderful. I will say, with two previous NICU babies, the Hero Snuza made me so comfortable at night and is the only way my husband and I got any sleep at all.

For us, it was a rock n play but I know there is some controversy over that one! It was the ONLY way out baby would sleep. Also, they aren’t in it long, but I loved the bumbo seat because it helped her sit up and look around like she wanted to when she just couldn’t quit do it on her own yet.

Also, not easily accessible for everyone, but if you have or can borrow a deep freezer for extra breast milk, that was awesome for us!

This is bobby number 4 my must haves are baby swing zip up swaddles total life savers. Breast feeding pillow I must say I did t use it as much as I thought for feeding however it was amazing for after having Bub and having stitches and sitting on it was so much More comfy I also love either Snuzzer hero or baby sense monitor you still always check Bub but it just helps to re assure you there is also something else keeping an eye on Bub too

A baby carrier, I used the k’tan last time and hoping on getting the Tula this round. We also got a super deal on the halo bassinet and I absolutely love it. But I would buy it second hand or borrow one before I paid the full price. The Velcro swaddler was a big hit with my girl but my son hated them. My Medella harmony hand pump is very dear to my heart lol. I also like the bumbo seat because both mine wanted to be up and looking around long before they could on their own, and it helped my second to set up and interact with his big sister.
